Legend of Swordsman-Chapter 5496 His Divine Body Reached 50,000-Fold

In his quest for those treasures, the array of items he desired was quite comprehensive.

The universe crystal, needless to say, was indispensable, providing significant assistance at any level of cultivation.

As for the Beast God Blood, it was reserved for his future divine body.

After breaking through 50,000-fold, conventional treasures wouldn't be sufficient for further enhancement of the divine body. Most of the required items were related to the Beast God.

The Blood of the Beast God would play a significant role after reaching 50,000-fold in his divine body.

This was something he couldn't acquire in the outside world.

Only figures like Wu Zuo could obtain it from within.

At present, his divine body reaching 50,000-fold wasn't a problem, and it was actually a consideration for the future.

Another reason was that this drop of Blood of the Beast God could help him restore the Origin Source within the Beast God Weapon.

He requested Wu Zuo's help in finding the Beast God Weapon, and judging by Wu Zuo's appearance, although he seemed troubled, there was hope.

Jian Wushuang, originally distressed by the loss of the Beast God Weapon, initially thought that with a Universe Origin Source, he could recover it. However, now even the Universe Origin Source was gone.

If he couldn't retrieve the Beast God Weapon, it would be a significant loss for him.

Once he found the Beast God Weapon, he could use the drop of Blood of the Beast God to locate several components. He would then request the assistance of several Divine Craftsman Envoys to refine the Beast God Weapon.

As long as he could restore about half of its power, it would be enough for him to dominate as an Emperor.

What Jian Wushuang didn't know was that the Beast God Weapon was actually on Wu Zuo.

The apparent difficulty shown just now was nothing more than a performance.

With this request, Jian Wushuang asked for fewer treasures.

Currently, Wu Zuo had indeed gone to the Earth Realm, but it was to search for the Essence of Alll Things. As for the 20 percent Universe Origin Source, he would exchange it in the Elder Palace's treasury.

Overall, the only thing causing Wu Zuo distress was the 200,000 cubic units of universe crystals.

The universe crystal, a precious treasure, was rare in ancient times.

Pulling out 200,000 units at once, even supreme-peak experts would go bankrupt. Fortunately, Wu Zuo had collected quite a bit over the years.

After Jian Wushuang left Yuanyang Island, he first went to inquire about the mines in the extreme north from Qiuhuang to find out the whereabouts of Nie Yuan.

Before he reached the mines, there was no sign of him.

However, Nie Yuan's personal sword, appearing in the mines, probably meant he was somewhere nearby.

The fate of the Shangqing Palace was not good; it was said that the Shangqing Ancestor was now guarding the Elder Palace.

Most of the other Emperor-level experts were busy mining in the mountains.

The once prestigious Shangqing Palace now looked like this.

Jian Wushuang had always had a good impression of sword sects. When he met Wu Zuo again, he would definitely discuss the situation and see if they could restore the Shangqing Palace.

Leaving from Qiuhuang, Jian Wushuang returned to the cave on Fenyang Island.

When he returned to the cave, Gong Miaoyi was not there. Jian Wushuang wasn't surprised; after all, it had been tens of thousands of years since he left, and she probably went into seclusion elsewhere for cultivation.

Jian Wushuang accelerated the flow of time to a million times. For him, one month was equivalent to tens of thousands of years.

During this time, he aimed to increase the power of his divine body to 50,000-fold.

He didn't know if he could break through 50,000-fold, but even if he couldn't, he had to reach the completion-stage of the fourth level.

The divine body had its stages.

For a Dao Lord, around 10,000-fold was generally sufficient. Some extraordinary individuals or second-generation descendants of influential families might elevate their divine bodies to 30,000-fold.

As for the 50,000-fold divine body, most tier 5 Emperors hadn't achieved it.

It typically required a hefty price for a tier 6 Emperor to elevate their divine body to 50,000-fold.

Jian Wushuang, however, intended to reach the 50,000-fold divine body before the Dao Merge.

Yet, the final 1,000-fold increase proved exceedingly challenging.

The treasures expended on the previous 49,000-fold divine body might not be sufficient to fill the gap.

And this was just breaking through the 50,000-fold mark.

The cost of advancing to a 60,000-fold divine body afterward could leave even supreme-peak experts bankrupt.

It's imaginable how substantial the price was when Bai Junwang elevated his divine body to 68,000-fold.

Now, Jian Wushuang was left with nothing on him.

Fortunately, Emperor Jueyun's sword, the 'Jueyun Sword', was left in his cave for contemplation and wasn't taken along.

Otherwise, the losses this time would have been even greater.

For the current divine body enhancement, he could only use the Hundred Weeping Vines stored inside the Skysight Heavenly Chessboard.

Initially, he planned to keep nurturing them, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Since they had already matured, it was better to just cut them.

The vines, as thick as a bowl, were sliced into sections, and the white liquid inside carried a bitter taste.

Frowning, Jian Wushuang forcibly refined it, transforming it into a force powerful enough to rupture his physical body.

The force hovered in front of him, and Jian Wushuang carefully devoured and absorbed it.

The divine body began to tremble, pulsating continuously.

With each increase of one or two folds, though slow, there was progress.

Throughout the day, he could ascend by roughly 10-fold, and in the later stages, about 1-fold per day.

His divine body quickly approached the critical point, reaching 49,999-fold.

He was so close; one more step, and he would attain the 50,000-fold divine body.

But it was precisely this point that led him to swallow the entire vine of Hundred Weeping Vines, roots and all.

An entire Hundred Weeping Vine!

Jian Wushuang felt a twinge of heartache.

Compared to the treasures he had spent before, the Hundred Weeping Vines made them seem worthless.

Heartache aside, Jian Wushuang showed no mercy. He thoroughly refined every root of the vine, transforming them into divine energy, and began absorbing it recklessly.

His divine body underwent some changes as well, shifting from an illusory phantom to a substantial projection radiating a golden glow.

That touch of golden divine body carried an infinite meaning.

With a mental command from Jian Wushuang, the divine body reached its peak, unleashing an unprecedented power that rivaled the aura of a tier 6 Emperor.

It was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the tier 6 standard.

50,000-fold the divine body was achieved!

Without any surprises, it was as simple as that.

As long as you can throw in treasures into the ring, even a pig could enhance its divine body to a 1,000-fold, provided the physical body was strong enough.

Thus, those who followed the divine body cultivation path needed least of all potential and intelligence.

Many mediocre and weak second-generation descendants chose the divine body path. Once they reached 30,000-fold, they attained the level of a tier 4 Emperor.

At forty thousand times, they directly rivaled a tier 5 Emperor.

50,000-fold could match a tier 6 Emperor.

Of course, having a powerful backing was essential. If someone at the supreme-peak valued their descendants highly enough to spend a considerable price to enhance their divine body, 50,000-fold would still be a limit.

Raising the necessary funds again was a burden even for the supreme-peak.

Many essential treasures had to be sought in various secret realms, and there was no further room for improvement through purchases. Take, for instance, the Hundred Weeping Vines; there was simply no one outside willing to sell them. The fallen tier 5 Emperor, in his demise, never revealed the Hundred Weeping Vines. It wasn't that he was unwilling to sell; it was more likely that presenting them would jeopardize his own safety. There was a high risk of being killed for the treasure.

"Whew!" Jian Wushuang rose slowly, clenching his fists. A formidable force surged, making it almost uncontrollable even for himself.

His state of mind trembled!
